The Invisibles
The Invisibles. A 2017 German film telling the story of four young German Jews - two men and two women who go underground in Berlin from 1942 to 1945 to avoid being deported to the concentration camps. About 7.000 German jews went underground in Berlin during the war and about 1,500 survived.
They were hidden by ordinary German families from all walks of life who took great risks of torture by the Gestapo and being sent to a concentration camp themselves. Its one thing to risk your life in battle for yourself and your mates, but a totatally different kind of courage to risk the lives of your familly to help someone not known to you who is being persecuted and in fear of their lives.
It also shows that life is not really black and white but different shades of grey. The Gestapo had a network of spies and informers looking out for these underground jews and their helpers, one of whom was the imfamous Stella Goldschlag, a blue eyed, blonde haired young jewish women who was working as an informer for the Gestapo rooting out jews in hiding and denouncing them to the Gestapo. One of the men helping the jews was outwardly an ardent Nazi official.
A truly inspirational film telling a little known story.
